Chapter 48
It's not like this has happened before. The second son of the Lin family in the next village was revealed to have a broken sleeve two years ago.
Even in the eyes of aristocrats from big cities like the capital and the imperial capital, it is still an elegant way of playing.
But in a small place like Huaining County, this is simply treason and unjust.
So the Lin family's ancestral hall invited a family lawyer. Erlang of the Lin family was not in good health. It seemed that after receiving the family law, he died within a few days. Even though a person's life was left, nothing happened in the end. No one reported it to the official, or even no one Mention it again.
No one reported it to the officials, and of course it was impossible for the yamen to come and handle the case on their own.
And everyone actually accepts and acquiesces that the ancestral hall is a place where justice is administered.
This is why Du Xuan has always been restrained, because she discovered that there is such a "private agency" with "law enforcement power"?
And this organization also has another point that makes her not take advantage of it, filial piety comes first.
Usually, the elders sue the juniors, otherwise the elders rarely sue the younger ones. This is probably because the elders in the ancestral hall are all elders themselves.
If Du Xuan goes to the ancestral hall to sue Yang and Du Yongxing, she probably won't get any advantage, but Du Yongfu is different. Although there is a big age difference, he is indeed the same generation as Du Yongxing, not to mention that as Old Man Du Lao Laizi, whom Mrs. Du loves the most, can obviously easily get the support of his parents.
In short, it might not be that easy for Du Yongfu to sue Du Yongxing. His parents would have to stop him. After all, it would not sound good if the brothers' feud spread, but if he wanted to sue Yang, a cunning woman...
Yang's face turned pale. How could he speak with the same confidence as when he scolded Du Xuan before?
"Xiao, what are you talking about, uncle? We are all a family, what are you talking about?" Yang's voice was slanderous, the volume also weakened, and a sly smile appeared on his face.
Du Yongfu didn't agree with her, "After dinner tonight, I will go to the clan elders to talk about the matter. Tomorrow we will go to the ancestral hall and have a good talk."
"Third brother!" Du Yongxing frowned and said in a much stern voice, "I am your eldest brother! Do you have to make things so ugly?"
Du Yongfu obviously didn't buy into his eldest brother, "You are the eldest brother. I know very well what kind of character you love to take advantage of. You don't need to act like the eldest brother here. Just the things your mother-in-law did, if you didn't She alone can't do your acquiescence."
Du Yongfu glanced at the Du family and sneered, "You, the Du family, love to take advantage. Even when a dung truck passes by you, you all have to pick up two spoons one by one and taste it. If it tastes bad, You have to rely on others to pay for it."
Du Xuan: "..." Oops! She felt like she was going to get cancer in her ears again.
You shouldn't stay here. It's very lively. Wouldn't it be nice to make dinner quickly?
Du Xuan picked up the chicken and was about to leave, but Du Yongfu stopped her and said, "Xuanya, wait a moment."
Du Xuan could only continue to watch the fun.
Just what Du Yongfu said just now made Du Da's family look very ugly. Although the whole village knew that they were taking advantage of the Du family's love, Yang's mouth was so terrible that the villagers usually didn't bother to argue with her. No matter whether I win or win, I feel irritated regardless of whether I win or lose.
Du Yongfu is the first to be able to speak like this to everyone in Du.
"You continue to taste your salt. My wife and I will not participate. I want to divide the family. How much money is in the father-in-law, you can divide it how you want. Also, Xuanya's dowry, give her every penny.
.And the money you got from marrying off Xuanya’s mother for sex must also be given to Xuanya. The second brother died for us, so he kept this girl, and you don’t even have her money.
Withholding, you are so embarrassed."
After hearing this, Du Xuan said to Du Yongfu, "Thank you uncle for helping me make the decision. I'm going to cook now."
As for how Du Yongfu and Du Yongxing will separate their families, Du Xuan is not very interested.
I went to the stove room with the chicken, and I was in a bright mood. I even hummed Xiaoquer all the way.
A chuckle came from the door of the kitchen, Mrs. Liu was sitting there eating melon seeds leisurely, "Xuanya, what song are you humming? It's so funny."
"Just... I made it up casually." Du Xuan was a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "Why is Auntie here?"
"Your uncle went to the front to argue. I'm too lazy to listen and my ears are tired, so I just came here and sat for a while, waiting for you to make delicious food." Mrs. Liu continued to eat melon seeds as she spoke.
Du Xuan smiled and said, "Uncle speaks so eloquently. Is it aunt who taught me how to speak?"
Mrs. Liu's charming slender phoenix eyes gave Du Xuan a sidelong glance, seemingly angry but not angry, "Don't you just want your uncle to jump out and become this person?"
After hearing this, Du Xuan smiled lightly and said nothing, thinking that Liu's thoughts were indeed not comparable to Yang's.
"I just don't want to be angry with Yang Zhaodi anymore. Before, I lived in this house and didn't have to work."
Ms. Liu sighed softly as she spoke, "It's good to separate the families, so you don't have to suffer anymore, but you still have to work."
Du Xuan was simply shocked when she heard this.
What kind of salty fish speech is this?
"The main reason is that Yang Zhaodi is really stingy. Who can bear to eat bran-flavored vegetables every day? I was almost used to it, but now that you suddenly come back and make a delicious meal, I can't bear it anymore," Mrs. Liu said.
.
Du Xuan processed the chicken, cut it in half, threw half into the casserole, soaked some dried mushrooms and stewed it together, and also threw in a handful of chestnut meat and stewed it together.
The other half was chopped into pieces for frying, and the wings and chicken thighs were also cut off, intending to be eaten by Liu's daughters Jin Ling'er and Qi Xiaobao.
Today's meal was completely out of Du's plan.
Ms. Liu continued, "Xuanya, your uncle helped you this time, but your uncle, Jin Ling'er, I, and I will probably have to separate from Dafang. If you do something good in the future, please think more about it."
Let's do it, I think you girl has finally figured it out, and your man is really capable of hunting, so following you will probably be more useful than following Du Da."
Du Xuan knew what she meant, and she didn't mind that Mr. Liu came with a purpose, as long as she didn't have bad intentions.
She knew that Du Yongfu usually went hunting in the mountains, and from time to time he would get some harvests and sell them in the town or county to improve the lives of Liu and Jin Ling'er.
This was probably Liu's plan, hoping that Qi Yan could help Du Yongfu during hunting in the future.
But this, she couldn't make the decision, she had to discuss it with Qi Yan later.
Du Xuan felt that the problem should not be big, so she glanced at Ms. Liu and said, "Auntie is too polite. I also hope that Auntie will help me more in the future. After all, I am a junior, and I have offended my uncle and my aunt. I am afraid in the future."
There will be trouble."
How could Mrs. Liu not understand this? She immediately said, "I'll take care of it." Her charming slender phoenix eyes picked up, "Anyway, your uncle is not the one I'm going to tell you where to hit."
